A game played at some dog club parties is ' Spot your dog', where people are blindfolded and have to recognise their dog from others of same breed or similar shape, by touch only. The dog is handled by someone who doesn't allow it to give the owner behavioural clues.
You could try this at home, with your cavaliers and , much to their amazement, was found to be quite difficult by people on another forum, who had several dogs.
Make it more difficult: What if you were only allowed two places to touch the dogs and were not allowed to swap them about to compare ?
I could do mine on being offered just an ear leather: Joly's are very small, Teddy's are large and heavy and Monty's are super large. Tummy would be a backup choice, as Teddy's is bare, Monty's has lots of hair and Joly's tummy hair is very soft.
